The Greater Lansing Food Bank (GLFB) addresses emergency food needs in the Greater Lansing area. The GLFB coordinates, funds, and supports local food pantries, shelters, and community kitchens. Through its Food Movers program we rescue perishable food and distribute to shelters, community kitchens, senior housing, subsidized housing and other places in our community where there is a need for food. Our Garden Project supports community gardens and low income residential gardens with seeds, plants, information and expertise. It also organizes a substantial gleaning program at MSU and other community farms.
